25th week of the 2011 season

153

This week was suppose to be easy and it was fairly easy in the amount of hours but for some reason I could not keep myself tight enough and I made it harder tan what it was supposed to be. Also I was able to try some new changes and I moved in to another place, now I live somehow on my own.

This week pretty much started on Tuesday like always but I would like to mention first the improvement I did towards my goal on Monday, I moved in alone, so now I just have to be lucky enough to keep focused.

So I started on Tuesday with a light bike at my new place and then I went to work. In the afternoon I went to my new swimming pool for a swim and 30 minutes run afterwards. The run was supposed to be easy and even though it is hilly I ended up running under 4minutes per kilometer, too fast.

On Wednesday, I did a swim-bike-ride, but it was very easy. I started with the swim in the morning and then I went to work. In the afternoon 45minutes on the bike followed by a brick of 15 minutes, again I ran faster than what I should’ve done this week, I guess.

Thursday I only had to run for 75minutes and I almost missed it because of work. I left work at 8pm or later, I came home, I dressed up for running, it was raining but I wanted to run and so I did. I finally ran for the allotted time in an easy pace.

Friday was different, I woke up very early but this time was to go to work instead of the swimming pool. I was supposed to work until midday and I ended up working till the end. Afterwards I went to the pool. After swimming I took my first nap in a month or so. Then I jumped on the bike where for the second time this week I made some changes to the height of my seat. It is supposed to be more efficient but it is not as comfortable so I will lower it a little bit.

On windy Saturday I went for the bike ride. Awful sensations, windy; also the seat was too high and I did not feel well in aero position. Although I enjoyed seeing 3 more people in TT bikes, not very common. I transitioned to run and I did not run bad although I am not comfortable running after the bike, and it used to be something that I enjoyed a lot because I could easily change from cycling to running.

On Sunday I did my second swim test since I started this training plan. The test was slightly better that I could’ve thought but I am not happy enough with it. Anyway afterwards I went for a 30 minutes run and once again I needed someone to help me with the pace. I can’t hold it back, I started well at first but then I started to go faster and I ended up running the last km in about 3 minutes 50 seconds, way faster than the 4minutes 15 seconds desired.

Living alone is good but I don’t really know how good it is. It has its good and bad. What it used to be done; now has to be done and what it used to be simple now it can be complicated. Although what it could be a pain in the ass, now might be very easy. We will see how it goes.
